About

Provided by A&L Goodbody

Our Insurance group is recognised as a pre-eminent corporate insurance practice. Its expertise spans all aspects of insurance law and regulation, both contentious and non-contentious.

As one of Ireland's leading Corporate Insurance law firms, we are at the forefront of developments in the industry, offering our clients the support and assistance they need to deal with new challenges and the opportunities the changing environment brings.

We are recognised globally as a leading legal and regulatory adviser to the domestic and international insurance industry in Ireland. Our insurance group is the largest and longest established in Ireland and has been market leader since its foundation in the 1980s. Our strength lies in the breadth and depth of our technical ability and innovation. We have a large team of experienced professionals at all levels: partner, senior associate and associate. In addition to our non-contention practice, over many decades we have been regarded as a leader in dispute resolution for insurance companies. We are particularly recognised for our expertise in large or complex litigation but also for resolution of smaller disputes with potentially serious consequences, such as financial ombudsman cases that affect a large number of potential claimants.

We advise on all aspects of insurance law, regulation and disputes and our clients include many of the largest domestic and international insurers and reinsurers.
